I can really delete the sin if I wanted to but then you never know when it will be of use or they give something like the b-day gifts out to old characters so she is used as a mule also.

Now most of the stuff I have retained over the course of the years are green weapons from each expansions, armor for different builds since each expansion someone comes up with a new build for some of the harder areas/farming grounds. I also have materials, dyes that I have built up on which exceed the banks capacity which I sold alot to vendors and players but always found that I needed it when a new expansion came out for each one of my characters. I mean I have slots on each of my characters but for me to keep adding to it and getting rid of something else with no hope of bag space or bank space increasing over 2yrs can be a pain. It is great to sit there and say hey I dont need this green weapon and then try to sell it for about 3hrs you give up same goes for a mini pet you can stand in town and keep spamming with no success trust me I have tried and I am not one to sell for high prices.

Its obvious to me now that were not gonna agree on any of this. So I will state my final thoughts and as hard as it may be try not to argue this any further. You just stated my whole point of my last argument about how people manage their characters. You assume every 2 year old has used all their slots Im only 1.5 and I have 4 slots filled. Now Im sorry you seem to be stuffed but thats the way you manage your items and I see your argument for no more minpets. But as it has become more and more apparent thats all our choices are. So for the sake of putting this to rest. Were getting minipets...So name the ones you want.

Sidheyuna Aetheris · Mar 06, 2007, 04:29 AM // 04:29

Personally, I'd like a new series of minipets. I think they're fun to have around.

The ones I'd like to see the most in new series:

Mini Djinn (ruby, sapphire, diamond...I don't mind. Just WANT.)
Mini Glint
Mini Lich
Mini Shadow of Fear (the ultimate MM's minipet!)
Mini Skree Singer
Mini Desert Griffon
Mini Stalking Nephtila (mini spider, yay!)
Mini Dolyak Master
Mini Nightmare
Mini Juggernaut

I'd like it if the new series of minipets applied to any character reaching a birthday during this upcoming year, and not only characters celebrating their second year. Mostly for two reasons: I didn't particularly care for a lot of series one, and by "retiring" the first series of minipets it'll revitalize the niche of the game economy that minipet trading occupies, much in the same way that making them viewable in outposts did.

A special item that lets you put on a specific disguise anytime you want.
Like a kournan disguise...

I definitely believe that someone that has a character that is turning 2 years old should be getting something cooler than someone that's only turning one year old.

MirageMaster · Mar 06, 2007, 09:00 AM // 09:00

It's about dedication to the character,(not account-doh) thats why its should be title(with bos aura when shown

) cause you cant sell it,you have to atleast afk it for 2 years

,now leech that lol! In any case that would really deserve some respect.

Jongo River · Mar 06, 2007, 10:52 AM // 10:52

I think Title+Mini-pet would make most people happy. Something simple and character locked *and* something tradeable - that's a fair compromise, if you ask me.

Lagg · Mar 06, 2007, 10:56 AM // 10:56

Okay, to put the mini-pet craze into perspective, here are my two eurocents.

This may have been suggested before, but I would love to see his happen.

(1)

Offer two-year-old characters a one-time* item "imbue", (comparable to what Charsi did in Diablo 2).

Basically, you take any equippable item that exists as a drop in the game (except perhaps Greens, since some have unique skins), you bring it to the imbuer and it is turned into a max damage, golden, req 9, inscribable customized to your character (even for off-hands, though there is no added benefit, of course).

A quick example: every Warrior loves Prophecies' Sickles, but they only exist in very low quantity and non-max versions (save for Victo's Battle Axe).

You happen to find a 5-10 one somewhere, you take it to the imbuer and tada! Perfect and customized to you alone.

(*) I guess you could be offered 2 imbues so you can have a one-hand and an off-hand, or two of each, or an one-hand and a two-handed, or two two-handeds, or whatever you like.

(2)

Take any item at all (except perhaps a Green, Crafted or Collector's), very likely a perfect golden that you like a lot, and have it changed into a green.

The name would either be customizable or simply "Player Name's Weapon".

Once again, two items would be even better.

A combination of eurocent 1 and 2 would of course be sheer bliss.

This is the best sugestion so far!!

I'm just coming up on my first birthday, on about 4 characters, and have nto got many minipets, i would love to get more,

however i agree with the majority that we shouldn't get new ones for our 2nd birthday, otherwise there would be just too many versions, new ones at festivel events would be cool like the mini pig

However, as there are a few min pets that are not readily avilable, Panda etc, i think that having them as a 2nd birthday present would be cool, I don't know how many folk have 3million to spend on these rare pets but i would love to get my hands on some! These being only available to some in certain regions its only fair to let others have a chance of gettign them.

While i recognize that some would not want this, I think it may be appropriate to let folk have a choice, if you want one of these then you can say that, if others have an idea you are willing to implment, such as storage, then you could have that as option

So a box comes up offereing you storage expansion or one of the exclusive mini pets

ehb101 · Mar 06, 2007, 01:05 PM // 13:05

I would like to see possibly 4 new storage slots added as a 2nd birthday present. Far more useful to me than another new pet. But new pets it seems to be so I go for a rock beetle.

MrTumnus · Mar 06, 2007, 01:21 PM // 13:21

Since everyone's suggesting minipets (I've already put in my 3 cents CAD earlier in this thread), I guess I'll through in my mini suggestions:

-(more for the sardelac) How about a minipet trader? Since the first set of minipets now have a player determined market value anyways (even the pigs).

-dwarf (well...kinda mini :P)
-flesh golem (the ones on RoF, not the summonable ones. Those would be larger than the mini giants; I remember attacking the shins of one with my warrior)
-adelbern

*Dons special Riverside Inn Flameproof Suit (tm)*

There appear to be several people who are wont to dismiss other peoples ideas in this thread. I wont name names, but reading through all 20+ pages makes it plainly obvious. Anyway, enough of that, ideas, ideas!

Obviously, a second birthday is going to be something special. Now I wonder exactly how many characters will turn 2 before... lets say August. My gut instinct says not very many, a few thousand at best once you factor in the plain facts, (ie, people deleting original characters, people that quit the game, the farmbot population, etc...)

With that in mind, I think that 2yo characters are deserving of something a bit special. First things first, I'm not going to say no to minipets - frankly because I want a mini-moa and/or a mini-gwen. But I honestly think that to make it truly special, Anet could really splash out on it's long standing citizens.

So, to take the best ideas in my opinion, you'd get:
Nameable equipment with a unique skin - fully inscribable/moddable - (Maybe use the design a weapon entries?

) make it work like the endgame greens for factions/nightfall with respects to acquisition (except the "token" would come out of one of your birthday gifts.)

A minipet - Regardless of what people might say on here, minipets have not killed the economy*/caused infinite storage problems, etc. They were, and still are an excellent addition to the game. So, I'm all for a 'Series 2' (provided it contains the aforementioned

)

Finally, let us take one NPC/Henchman from anywhere in the game as a hero! That way people can finally get their favourite characters from the game as heroes, (I'm thinking the shing jea henchmen and the two Istan hench that dont appear anywhere else particularly... *CoughKisaiCough*...)

*Reflects the state of the euro servers - ie everything is dirt cheap over here for whatever reason... - a good thing, in my opinion

Anyhow, thats what I'd like to see

Henchman · Mar 06, 2007, 04:13 PM // 16:13

Increase my char's level cap for their birthday!!

(Hey, put that flame thrower away, it was just a joke.. AAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! )

Seriously, I'm against new minipets. I'd rather see something new.

I'd like to see special skin weapons. On your birthday, you receive a max-damage, completely unmodded unique-skinned weapon (inscribable of course) for your char (per proffesion). This doesn't give an advantage to the player, as an unmodded weapon is pretty useless, and an equivalent white max damage weapon is cheap. The skin alone is what gives it value.
The weapon could also be pre-customized to avoid reselling it, but thats debateable.

agrios · Mar 06, 2007, 04:15 PM // 16:15

I vote for a "free weapon/shield/etc.." that could be done from scratch (like the PvP equiment nowadays).

You can get weapons and gear anywhere, we need something a bit more unique for our birthdays.

In ActI, after you retrieve the Horadric Malice from the monastary, Charsi will imbue something for you. That's what he was talking about. And she doesn't craft weapons, armor she just repairs and sells them.

I beg to differ.

A weapon of your choice that gets to bear your own name is as unique as it gets.

To many people, mini-pets are seen as a way to make a quick buck. Here you end up with a weapon that is yours and yours alone.

Even the implementation looks easy enough (from my comfy chair), I guess the weapon simply needs a string in its name, such as "<Player Name>'s Ghostly Staff".

Sniper22 · Mar 06, 2007, 08:54 PM // 20:54

Don't really care on what mini pets you make... my character is 21 months old so the 2nd birthday should be coming up. I'm probably just gonna get another crappy white mini devourer again, or fungal wallow, or something just like it. All the minipets look like crap except for the panda which costs like 2 mil anyway. I'd rather have something customized to the character like a birthday hat or something so we dont have to see more.... WTS MINI RUBY DJINN 100K + 5 Ectos.........
